UI Properties

Common

jmix.ui.composite-menu

Specifies whether the menu is built with menu items from installed add-ons.

When set to true, the menu will include both the items from menu.xml of the application and the items from menu.xml of each installed add-on that has such file.

When set to false, the menu will only include those items that you add to the application’s menu.xml.

Studio Menu Designer helps managing the menu structure for both modes.

Default value: true.

jmix.ui.component.entity-field-actions

Defines actions to be added to the selection component for the specified entity within generation strategy mechanisms as genericFilter parameters or editable dataGrid cells.

For example, to use entity_lookup, entity_open, and entity_clear actions in components selecting the User entity, set the property as follows:

jmix.ui.component.entity-field-actions.User = entity_lookup, entity_open, entity_clear

jmix.ui.component.entity-field-fqn

Defines the component to be used for selecting the specified entity within generation strategy mechanisms as genericFilter parameters or editable dataGrid cells.

Specify the fully qualified class name (FQN) as the property value. For example, to use entityComboBox for selecting the User entity, set the property as follows:

This property can be overridden for a particular genericFilter component using its applyShortcut XML attribute.

jmix.ui.component.filter-auto-apply

When set to true, configures genericFilter components to work in the immediate mode when every change of parameters automatically reloads data.

When set to false, reload occurs only after the Refresh button is clicked.

This property can be overridden for a particular genericFilter component using its autoApply XML attribute.

Default value: true

jmix.ui.component.filter-configuration-unique-names-enabled

Default value: true

jmix.ui.component.filter-properties-hierarchy-depth

Defines the properties hierarchy depth in the Add Condition editor in genericFilter. For example, if the depth value is 2, then you can select an entity attribute contractor.city.country, if the value is 3, then contractor.city.country.name, etc.

This property can be overridden for a particular genericFilter component using its propertyHierarchyDepth XML attribute.

Default value: 2

Specifies whether the configuration id field is visible in the genericFilter’s configuration details dialog.

Default value: false

jmix.ui.component.picker-clear-shortcut

Defines the keyboard shortcut that is used to clear input of a picker component.

Default value: true.

Background Tasks

jmix.ui.background-task.task-killing-latency

Specifies the timeout after which background tasks that do not update their status are killed (task’s timeout plus latency timeout).
